File under Deeply Weird: Sky News reports that "a teenager has been charged with indecent exposure after he was caught trying to have sex with a female mannequin on display at an arts centre. Security guards found Michael Plentyhorse, 18, sprawled with the dummy on the floor with his trousers and pants down. Police spokesman Loren McManus said: 'There was inappropriate activity between him and the mannequin. That's the only way I know how to put it.'

"Despite my appreciation for tried-and-true classic theater from the likes of Sophocles and Shakespeare, this reviewer left "Chicks With Dicks," written by Chicago playwright Trista Baldwin and directed by Bloomington Playwrights Project's Artistic Director Richard Perez, speechless.

I flipped my notebook to the last page as the audience exited and wrote the first words that came to my mind. "Fucking wild," I penned.

"Chicks With Dicks" took the audience on the most maddening ride my eyes had ever witnessed. The play, set in the Hoosier heartland town of Bedford, offered the audience a bosom of biker babes, radioactive feminine sexuality and a glimpse of American life akin to a B-parody kung fu fighters crossed with a pissed-off chick flick."

"Where should we draw the line between what is obscene and what is culturally enriching? More books have been written on the subject than perhaps any other in art. But still it continues to haunt us.

The latest author to throw her hat in the ring is Cambridge academic Alyce Mahon, who, as the publicity so coyly puts it, is "a woman". This is not really so revolutionary. Some of the most stimulating writing on the subject produced in the past 30 years has been by women, notably Andrea Dworkin. Where Mahon supposedly differs from her predecessors is that she sets out to address her topic without a specifically political agenda.

Far from adopting the classic feminist critique, she seems to be attempting to be objective. This, of course, is no less than we would expect of a 21st-century art historian, and her book, despite being fundamentally flawed, makes for a read that is pacy and questioning." "

Sex therapist Cay L. Crow has come and said what everyone knew anyway - having a fiddle with yourself is a good practice to get rid of stress. As this article in The Ranger notes: " 'Masturbation is a great way to relieve stress,' sex therapist Cay L. Crow said in an interview.

'It also is a great way to mediate anxiety. It’s a great stress relief, especially during midterms and finals,' Crow said.

Crow, a licensed professional counselor, teaches sexual education classes for Forbidden Fruit, a woman-owned, women-operated business serving the community. Its mission is to help create erotic self-awareness and improve intimate communication in relationships."

The article goes on to give a pithy potted history of masturbation, including all the fire and brimstone stuff from Victorian physicans that reckoned it would make you go blind. Clearly they were in need of a Fleshlight.

Great quote from a Times interview with the lead actor from political skit The Thick Of It: "Peter Capaldi is as far away from Malcolm Tucker - the Downing Street "enforcer" - as The Thick of It is from Yes Minister. Even Tucker's publishable barbs are borderline watershed - his favourite ministerial put-down is: 'He's as much use as a marzipan dildo.'"

Several million sexual fantasies about heart-throb Latin singer Enrique Inglesias are about to be shattered with the news the Enrique is looking to promote a range of extra small condoms. The singer, who is in a high profile relationship with Anna Kournikova, told the Houston Press newspaper that "the next product I'm going to put my name on is extra-small condoms. I can never find extra-small condoms and I know it's really embarrassing for people. Hopefully people won't be ashamed when I step forward."

Still, we reckon it's pretty brave of Enrique to make this public - clearly he figures he's got nothing to prove and the fact that Ms Kournikova has stuck around would seem to prove it. Plus, all the sniggering aside, it's important that blokes do get a condom that fits properly otherwise it won't do the job and that means distinctly unsafe sex. Our sister site Sensible Johnny has small size condoms that can be delivered discreetly straight to you or to a friend.
